Nearly 20 runners just beat out the Tuesday night rainstorm at the Atomic City Roadrunners’ Pace Race.
Just as the final racer finished the 3-mile race, which started on San Ildefonso Road near Big Rock Loop, rains hit North Mesa.
The best predictor in Tuesday’s race was made by Marin Kelly. Kelly finished with an adjusted prediction error of nine seconds on the 1-mile course, well ahead of David Kratzer’s next-best prediction error of 23 seconds.
Kelly was also the fastest finisher on the 1-mile course with her time of 8:32. Bob Weeks finished in 12:58.
On the 3-mile course, Roxana Candia had the fastest finish (23:18). Zach Medin finished in 24:17.
The next Pace Race is the final regularly scheduled race of the season. It will be at Canyon Rim Trail Tuesday night.
